Reddit reviews Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists

There is a bunch of engineering stats books out there. The one we teach out of at my uni is the one by Devore. I think it does a good job of teaching what it does. I know Ross has an engineering stats book out there, and so does Montgomery, and they are both people who have written good books in the past. The one by Ross seems to have some good topics in it from reading the table of contents.


Also, you probably want to pick up a regression book. I like the one by Kutner et al., but it is ungodly pricey. This one has a free pdf. I don't like a lot about it, but the first few chapters of every regression book are pretty much the same.

If you want to go deep into statistical theory, there is Casella and Berger as well.


For programs, I know MATLAB has a stats package that should be sufficient for the time being. If you want to go further in stats, you might want to consider R because it will have vastly more stats functions.
